Slow Cooker Crack Chicken Pasta

I am back with another amazing recipe for you all to try! If you thought my other recipes were easy, you are in for a treat! This meal took me a total of 20 minutes to prep and the crockpot does the rest for you. They call this “crack” for a reason, it tastes delicious and is so hard to put down.

Happy Tuesday, friends! I am back with another amazing recipe for you all to try! If you thought my other recipes were easy, you are in for a treat! This meal took me a total of 20 minutes to prep and the crockpot does the rest for you. They call this “crack” for a reason, it tastes delicious and is so hard to put down. 

I found this recipe from Coupon Cravings, and it is amazing.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 8 oz. Velveeta cubed
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • One Packet Hidden Valley Buttermilk Recipe Ranch Dry Seasoning found by salad dressings
  • 3 cups Penne/Mostaccoli Pasta uncooked
  • 1 1/2 cups mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup bacon pieces I used Oscar Mayer

Instead of rotisserie chicken, I swapped it for 3 regular boneless chicken breasts. I also couldn’t find the Velveeta cubed cheese, so I subbed that for some generic cubed cheese from Target and I couldn’t even taste a difference.

Instructions

  • Cut the meat off your Rotisserie chicken and shred it or dice – you should use about 5 cups of shredded chicken
    • I placed the chicken breasts in whole and shredded them after they cooked, before putting the pasta in
  • In your four quart crock pot combine your shredded chicken, ranch packet, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, water and cubed Velveeta
  • Put the lid back on your crock pot and cook on high for three hours
  • After three hours on high, add the noodles and give it a good stir
  • Place the lid back on the crockpot for 20 more minutes on high
  • Give it another good stir and place the lid back on for ten minutes
  • Give it (yet another!) good stir and top with the cheese, and lastly the bacon pieces
  • Replace the lid and let the cheese melt for about 5 minutes
  • Scoop into bowls and enjoy!

Holy cow! This recipe calls for 6 servings, but as I was putting this in my containers for my meal prep this week, I had SO much extra. Use it for meal prep, a big family meal, or just you, if you’re feeling extra hungry.

Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Chicken and Veggies

I LOVE this recipe because you use the Crockpot, and I know some people have a hatred toward Crockpots, but I love them. All you have to do is prepare the ingredients, throw it in the pot, and in 4-8 hours (depending on the heat setting) it’s ready.

For the Fifth Day of Blogmas…

I mentioned in a few blog posts ago that I started meal prepping. This was one of the meals I bought for, along with my Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, and Rice Casserole. I LOVE this recipe because you use the Crockpot, and I know some people have a hatred toward Crockpots, but I love them. All you have to do is prepare the ingredients, throw it in the pot, and in 4-8 hours (depending on the heat setting) it’s ready. It takes no thought, it’s great if you’re extremely busy and need to multitask, and it tastes delicious!

I found this recipe on The Magical Slow Cooker and I highly, highly recommend it!

Ingredients

  • You’ll need a Crockpot that is 4 quarts or larger
  • 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken tenders breasts will work fine too
  • 1 lb. bag baby carrots
  • 1 1/2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes cut into wedges
  • 1/2 cup salted butter melted
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley

Usually when I do this recipe I’ll buy the garlic for the seasoning but not thyme or parsley (I don’t usually have this/use it for anything else.) This time I chose to only use salt and pepper mixed with the butter and it still tasted great. 

Instructions

  • Add the chicken down in the middle of the slow cooker. Add the potatoes on one side and the carrots on the other side.
  • In a small bowl mix together the butter, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme and parsley.
  • Pour the butter mixture over the chicken and veggies.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
  • Serve and enjoy!
